    Abstract: A disaggregated processor package can be configured to accept interchangeable chiplets. Interchangeability is enabled by specifying a standard physical interconnect for chiplets that can enable the chiplet to interface with a fabric or bridge interconnect. Chiplets from different IP designers can conform to the common interconnect, enabling such chiplets to be interchangeable during assembly. The fabric and bridge interconnects logic on the chiplet can then be configured to confirm with the actual interconnect layout of the on-board logic of the chiplet. Additionally, data from chiplets can be transmitted across an inter-chiplet fabric using encapsulation, such that the actual data being transferred is opaque to the fabric, further enable interchangeability of the individual chiplets. With such an interchangeable design, higher or lower density memory can be inserted into memory chiplet slots, while compute or graphics chiplets with a higher or lower core count can be inserted into logic chiplet slots.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for resource load balancing based on usage and/or power limits are described. In an embodiment, resource load balancing logic causes a first resource of a processor to operate at a first frequency and a second resource of the processor to operate at a second frequency. Memory stores a plurality of frequency values. The resource load balancing logic also selects the first frequency and the second frequency based on the stored plurality of frequency values. Operation of the first resource at the first frequency and the second resource at the second frequency in turn causes the processor to operate under a power budget. The resource load balancing logic causes change to the first frequency and the second frequency in response to a determination that operation of the processor is different than the power budget. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
